But the clash between the NFL’s two most in-form teams now has a huge question mark over it, with time running out to douse the fires.

NBC journalist John Clark tweeted: “Rams had to cancel their practice today because of the air quality from fires out here in California.

The #LARams continue to monitor the SoCal wildfires. You can see on the map⬇️where they’re located, 4🔥within a 40 mile radius. Relating to their football prep, air quality is the concern. They’re holding a walk thru in the gym today, still on the CLU campus. No plans to move pic.twitter.com/jvxVf2Y95y

But the fascinating sub-plot has also emerged, after the Rams drafted quarterback Jared Goff as a first pick in the first round of the 2016 draft, while the Eagles selected quarterback Carson Wentz as the second pick.

The two have both had strong seasons so far, with Wentz, 24, emerging as the league’s breakthrough superstar.

But the Eagles lost their second game of the season on Sunday with a 24-10 defeat away to the Seattle Seahawks.
